RunSignUp Go is a strategic effort to help bring race day together for race directors and timers. RunSignUp Go provides an open platform to connect the various parts of race day. This means existing tools and technologies can be tied together, and there is choice and freedom to add and change vendors – whether for […]
We are rolling out Results 2.0. As with our other 2.0 releases, this is based on some great feedback from timers, race directors and runners. Here are the highlights: Mobile and Kiosk Quick Lookup by Bib or Name Individual Results QR Codes and Unique URL for each finisher QR Code File for Custom Bib Printing […]
Custom URL’s allow you to specify your own web address without having to have your own website – like http://www.runsignup.com/MyRace. We now give you a way to go to specific pages beyond your custom URL. This gives you a nice short address to direct people right to registration or results. For example: https://runsignup.com/rotary8k/results
We have posted the Groups/Teams manual for Race Directors. Groups and Teams Manual for Race Directors This includes explanations on: How to Set up Race Groups How to Set up Race Group Pricing How to Assign Race Group Bibs How to Create a New Race Group How to View Groups
Widgets are the way that you can easily put a part of RunSignUp, like race registration, right on your website. This means people are not re-directed to another website to register for your race or club. About 50% of the registrations on RunSignUp happen in this way – so it is very popular and very […]
The RunSignUp Widget now works with Responsive Design websites. The planned new Widget 2.0 release next week will make some of this easier, but the technical documentation is below for completeness: The widget is now responsive to the custom width. The tab colors will need to be overridden in widgetHead.tpl, but the custom width feature […]
We recently added a Create Race API for a technology partner / OEM. We are not making this publicly available at this time, but it is something that may be useful for some advanced technology partners. It also represents the first step in putting an API wrapper around the Race Director and Partner side of […]
We hate to do this, but we have just had to add a sentence to our contract. It basically gives us the right to deny service or withhold funds from races where registrants are complaining or there are repeated chargebacks. This is due to a couple of race directors who have put up bogus races […]
In preparing for the Timer Training in San Antonio, we tried putting together a slide with a bunch of timer logos on it. We were not successful in getting every one on there, but these timers are all above 10 races, with the top one being over 200 races using RunSignUp. Thank You!
With the new Responsive Mobile 2.0 user interface, we are also enhancing the look and feel for people who use our widgets on their sites for registration. The one at the right shows the new Profile in a cool set of colors as an example. Here is another example that allows you to set the […]
On Dec. 30 we made a change to the system. Today we discovered that it caused some (about 59%) confirmation emails to participants to not be sent. We have fixed the error, and have resent confirmation emails that were not previously delivered. There is nothing that needs to be done by race directors or participants. […]
You will notice continued refinement of our new responsive Mobile 2.0 design. In the first image, note how we have Help on every page. Also if you are logged in, there is a menu icon right below the Help button to give you quick links to your Profile and other Registered Races. Also in the […]
Many races are using the RunSignUp Widget on their own website. One of the cool options you can set is to have a “transparent” background. This means the background of your site is what shows. You can see a couple of nice examples on the right. To do this, set a parameter of “transparent=T” in […]
